"When fans think of Buc-ee's, they likely think of the chain's iconic beaver mascot before thinking of Beaver Nuggets or the "Cleanest Restrooms in America," as the brand's official website promises. This Texas-based American gas station and convenience store chain is known for its gargantuan stores, immaculate bathrooms, wide-ranging inventory, and fare like Texas barbecue, kolaches, and beef jerky. The Buc-ee's location in Luling, TX alone boasts 120 gas pumps,"
"Disney Commercial Studios created the original Bucky the Beaver character for the Bristol-Myers Company in the 1950s. Bucky was the face of ipana toothpaste brand, where a playful ad campaign posed the beaver as a hero against villain character DK Germ, and sang his "Brusha, brusha, brusha" jingle. But, when Bristol-Myers expanded its foray into medicine over toothpaste, Bucky began to fade from the 1970's public eye."
